W12R2 - No park run again 😡

Route checked and mapped on Strava, bar code printed, reminder set, so it felt the preparation were completed. It was time to go for the run but I miscalculated my walk and was 10 mins late. The group left by that time and so I missed the park run this week as well, just myself to blame 😡

Determined to do it next Saturday. I decided to run the park run route by myself. The disappointment of missing the run stayed throughout the run and I didn’t enjoyed it so much, but at least it was 5km run planned for today.

It was the slowest ever 5km time but thinking about it now this is actually great. 12 weeks back, no way in my dreams I would have run 5Kms. So hey keep running. You are doing great 😊

Cheers runners!!
